The first of four major sections describes the changing U.S. communications infrastructure. The second section summarizes some of the opportunities and constraints presented by new communication technologies, including discussions of communication and comparative advantage in the business arena, communication and the democratic process, communication and the production of culture, and communication and the individual. Policy issues and Congressional strategies are discussed in the third section. Issues addressed include equitable access to communication opportunities; security, survivability, and interoperability of the infrastructure; modernization and technological development of the U.S. communication infrastructure; and jurisdiction in the formulation and implementation of national communication policy. The fourth section presents the case for a national market, economic, and social vision of the role of communication. Figures included throughout illustrate Congressional options in response to changes in the communication infrastructure.

Congressional Strategies and Options To Address Modernization of the Communication Infrastructure 17 5. Congressional Strategies and Options To Address Jurisdictional Issues in Communication Policymaking 18 Foreword The U.S. communication infrastructure is changing rapidly as a result of technological advances, deregulation, and an economic climate that is increasingly competitive. This change is affecting the way in which information is created, processed, transmitted, and providedto individuals and institutions. In addition, the lines that historically have divided domestic and international communication systems and markets are gradually disappearing. Today, decisions concerning communication systems and industries must reflecta global perspective. While new technologies have the potential to effectively meet the needs ofan information-based society, they will undoubtedly generate a number of significant social problems. In some areas they will create opportunities; in others, theymay constrain activities. How these technologies evolve and are appliedas well as who willreap their benefits and bear their costswill depend on decisions now being made in both the public and private sectors. To provide a broad context for evaluating the impacts ofnew communication technologies, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce asked the Office of Technology Assessment to undertake this study. The report analyzes the implications ofnew communica- tion technologies for business, politics, culture, and individuals, andsuggests possible strategies and options for congressional consideration.

All humor aside, to many, one of the least desirable effects of the American Experiment begun over two hundred years ago is the advent of the campaign. The complaints about campaigns range from them being too long' to them being too nasty.2 Many of the complaints, however, distill to these two related charges: too much money is "in politics" and, as a result, those with money play too large a role in the political process.3 In essence, the suspicion is that 1.
